Windows and Story Views

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:37:26 GMT

Hi Guys,
I'm having difficulty controlling the display of windows in my model.
I have a bottom story with windows, a short mid story of wall, and an upper story of windows.
When I choose the mid story view it displays both the windows overlain. I want to separate the windows to show on only the lower and upper stories. I've fiddled with floor plan view settings (why isn't there a checkbox for this kind of thing?!) and can't seem to get it working without making the fill of my walls go awry.
I've attached a .zip of screen shots.

Much thanks in advance.
Dan

It would be helpful if you showed us what you were trying to achieve and/or a 3D view noted with what is right and wrong.

Try using the 3D document to capture the 3D view . This is easy to annotate and then you can SAVE AS this window as an image such as jpg format for easy attachment here.

Hi Erika,
it's not a 3d problem I'm having. it's the 2d floor plans i want to be clear. each story view showing the windows i want it to, it seems automatic and mostly uncontrollable.

I think I'm just going to delete, export view, undo delte and so on until i get the views I want.

sorry for any confusion

Hi Dan,
I understand the problem you are encountering. I am trying to approach it by stepping back and addressing why you have these 3 bands of stacked walls; perhaps there is another way to do the basic modeling that will circumvent the window display limitations.

Maybe the walls below/above are showing on the current plan because they are not set to display on "home story only?"
